It was a beautiful sunny day when I decided to go for a walk in the neighborhood, I smile as I watch the sea of people walking, talking to each other and living the journey of their life

Beep

I check my phone to see the message from my friend

She is gone

I froze after I read the message, suddenly the people around me started to move in a slow motion and I feel like I'm the only person left here on earth

My bestfriend just pass away. And I'm so far away from her. I talked to her while she is undergoing her chemo therapy, I feel like its not enough most of the time..and now this happen

I find myself in the church, I started to cry ignoring the people looking at me. I get a small paper inside my bag and started to make a paper crane. My bestfriend likes paper crane..

I'm just sitting there and praying to God thru silence

Somebody sit beside me, I glance and saw him.. the actor who ask me to hide him inside the shop

"I recognize you" he said and offer his handkerchief, I slowly get the handkerchief and wipe my tears away

We just sit beside each other inside the church for a long time. I like the silence between us, it is so comfortable

"I need to go" he look at me

"Okay" I suddenly remember the handkerchief "Sorry if its not clean" I hand it back

"It's okay, you can have it as a sign of thank you for helping me last time" he stand up and walk away, I follow him with my gaze as he walk outside the church

"An actor gives me his handkerchief" I talk to my bestfriend, I know she is listening because every time I talk she listen..
